A delightful ode to childhood milestones in sweet rhyme and fun facts about baby animals.

A heartwarming, playful picture book combining animal facts and a message of trying new things!

This rhyming picture book shows baby animals taking first steps, first leaps, first climbs, and more. Back matter with additional animal facts included. This follow-up to Animal Snuggles by Aimee Reid and Sebastien Braun is perfect for homes, schools, and libraries!

Greeting the morning through eager, new eyes.
Peacefully gliding beneath moonlit skies.
Joining together to howl with the pack.
Reaching to gather a tasty, new snack.
Rising on shaky legs, learning to stand.
Tumbling and playing on wide-open land.

...I'll be beside you wherever you go,
Cheering with wonder and joy as you grow.

Aimee Reid (Author) Aimee Reid is an author with a background in education and editing. She taught high school English, Music, and Special Education before she began writing for children. Aimee's picture books include Mama's Day with Little Gray, You are My Friend- The Story of Mister Rogers and His Neighborhood, Welcome Home, and First Morning Sun. As a child, Aimee was a voracious reader and could often be found-curled in a corner, tucked in the crook of a tree limb, or crouched by a book rack in the grocery store aisle-carried away to the world of a book. Now Aimee sends her own stories out into the world. It brings her great joy to think of other children nestled on a lap or cuddled on a couch reading good books to share. Sebastien Braun (Illustrator) French Illustrator Sebastien Braun studied fine and applied arts at Strasbourg University. He then taught applied arts before becoming a freelance illustrator, first of all for editorial clients in Paris.
